EP.13 | Our End Of Year Review Of our Allotments and the Podcast!
In our final episode of the year, we review our allotments, as well as our highs and lows. We also talk about the podcast and whether we'll continue it next year.

Also on this episode, we discuss how the 'jingle bell' sing-along came about and how amazing it has been. This episode was completed prior to the release of the jingle bell song, so the timing is slightly off because we planned to release this episode before the jingle bell song. If you haven't listened to it, then give it a listen (released on the 6th December).

As we approach the end of 2022, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
